What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

The last one from me this week is by Destroyer who you'd be forgiven for thinking were a metal band. That's not the case though. They're a band featuring Daniel Bejar who have their 'Trouble in Dreams' album out this week. Phil's dad occasionally visits the office and more often than not he walks into the sound of some weird psychedelic drone and responds with words along the lines of "This isn't music, it sounds like hamsters faces being drilled off". However when the promo of this album was playing he thought it was "real" music and said it reminded him of the Bee Gees. I don't hear it myself but it does have a slight dad friendliness to it. I find the vocal a bit too theatrical personally. There's touches of piano and dramatic strings in this sophisticated, very mature sounding singer / songwriter gubbins. Out on Rough Trade.

What the label says:

Daniel Bejar, also famous for his musical collaborations with indie-rock band The New Pornographers, is a seminal artist in his own right as frontman of Destroyer. Over the course of his career, Destroyer has established himself & his band as an unpredictable success story having released 8 critically acclaimed albums to date.He is adored by the alternative music community.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
